2 Chicago coaches suspended after teen beating

CHICAGO - Two Chicago football coaches have been removed from their positions amid allegations they were involved in a teen's beating.

Chicago Public Schools says it has removed the Fenger Academy High School coaches pending an investigation.

Police say the 16-year-old victim, Derion Jones, was attacked at his home on the far South Side Saturday afternoon.

Jones' mother says her son was beaten by a group of boys who had been driven to their home by the coaches. The family says he was beaten so badly that he lost a tooth, and his prosthetic eye was knocked out of its socket, CBS 2's Pamela Jones reports.

The family says one of the coaches told them they were there to settle a score over stolen flip-flops. Derion denied stealing anything.

"The coach said that my boys had taken some high school student's shoes," Jones said. "I told the guys in that car, 'I'll buy you a pair of shoes. Don't take my child's life. Don't take my children's life.'"

Fenger gained international attention after the beating of honor roll student Derrion Albert was captured by a cellphone camera and played around the world. Five suspects were charged in that attack, and all are serving prison time.
